least fifty people gathered near the russian consulate in kiev on sunday they were shouting anti moscow slogans and throwing objects of police it's not the first time it's happened but this latest protest it was much milder than the one we saw earlier in the week then paint stones and smoke bombs were thrown at the russian embassy in the russian flag was torn down by a radical youths there accusing moscow of getting involved in the country's crisis . this is a snap shot through elsewhere in kiev here seeing a group of masked individuals clashing with police their flags suggesting they belong to an alter nationalist movement that was seen vandalizing a branch of sport by unclear which is one of russia's main banks. and other developments a freight train has derailed in the eastern ukrainian region of dinette sky after the track was blown up there no injuries reported it's not yet clear who is responsible or who made that happen if indeed it was just an accident and urgent repairs a big made to the railway will have more about one as soon as we get it of course.

and deadly they reportedly captured three cities on sunday alone yet some sources say this was the result of actually the army's tactical withdraw all this month you can see the two routes that the terrorists are chosen to get to their eventual target baghdad that's the fear extremist fighters have left a trail of blood as they march through the country and they've not shied away from boasting about their atrocities on social media these pictures in the wake from the al qaeda offshoot appeared to show that it was verified the mass execution of iraqi soldiers going to to can next looks at what's stopping the international community then from lending a helping hand to the stricken maliki government washington is now pondering over how to bomb iraq in such a way as to not provoke a backlash after all the crisis there has its strong stick terry in the background with the militants being sunni muslims so what's your response to airstrikes to start the answer here with a look the whole answer but they may well be one of the options that are important to be able to stem the tide and stop the movement of people who are moving around.

and in open convoys and trucks and turrets and people the sick caring component video walks crises is already traditional alliances iran wants to cooperate with the u.s. to assist iraq's shia government washington's ally saudi arabia on the other hand warns against any foreign interference and made reports that wealthy sunni donors in saudi arabia kuwait and carter have been funding militants from the islamic state of iraq and syria the us is allied with all the gulf countries that are supporting the sunni rebels in syria that are supporting them in iraq this is an old problem with the isis militants who are today some of the politicians who made the decision to invade or anxious to wash their hands of blame the u. case tony blair wrote we have to liberate ourselves from the notion that we have caused this we haven't the sunni extremists now control vast areas in iraq

including the cities of fallujah and to create as well as mosul the second largest these cities which have been battered by the decade long war looked very different before the u.s. and u.k. invasion. in two thousand and two i was in a most truly in the northern city that has been now seized by the rebels the sunni revolt that time in two thousand to mosul and i was greeted by people in mosul they were christians they were sunni arabs shia arabs and they were kurds they were a tapestry they were around the multinational multicultural communities of a record that time and they were living in peace today they are divided along sectarian lines because of an outside invasion washington is now divided between those who oppose any u.s. military intervention in iraq and those who say something has to be done the consequences of the. invasion have rather were bridge to the officials on both sides and say they don't own iraq's problems and they don't want to become the

government. most of the military sounds however many experts agree with their return are only a matter of fact. i'm going to tell you on the ground. let's just take a minute second close look at how iraqi sectarian bloodshed could reshape the political power game in the region marked here in the green are the areas where shia muslims make up the majority while the listed predominately sunni powers include qatar and of course america's closest muslim ally in that region saudi arabia iraq is currently a shiite rule and isis made up of radical sunni muslims is doing all it can to change that another key factor in the violence is the iraqi kurds they've already shown they're a force to be reckoned with their fighters repelled the jihadist advance and indeed force them out of the city of kirkuk taking control of a vital oil center defense consultant mona ruth believes the kurds the world's largest ethnic group without a state could emerge from the conflict with their own independent country. well the

country's been broken away as it is except it's not officially broken where they've wanted to separate oil rich a kurdish region in the north away from the main iraq that's been set up from the beginning from the ninety's the americans gave them the possibility of a semi autonomous region now all it is is there been running the kurds have been running their own kurdish region since the ninety's. and now all they're going to do is break away from iraq once and for all and declare independence. more the week's news to come including spain's cautious coronation leap in the sixty's crush protests across spain show how austerity is left people mulling whether or not the monarchy having. also to a friendship that survives changes at the top apparently washington pledges support and financial aid now to yet another of egypt's leaders later in the program expert analysis on how to keep the u.s. ally.

material have disappeared and at the same time all furniture has been destroyed and doors have been were and computers and disks have been confiscated all of this has resulted in a conversation between us and the i.d.f. where we are asked them what was all of this about now they responded initially by saying nothing the raid was against the outback's the channel and now we've been pointed out that that was actually housed in another building to which the idea of responded well in that case the raid was against our could stevie our follow up question then was so why have you confiscated r t arabic sequent which the idea for sponsor that they had to since the operation targeted the whole complex now these confiscations form part of what is being called operation brothers keeper it is an operation that is intended to risk youth three israeli teenagers who were kidnapped . some ten days ago my hair must be dipped he hid of r.t. arabic has said that the i.d.f.

never acts without any kind of documentation that proves that whoever it is raiding is in fact affiliated with terrorists but when he asked where it was proof that r.t. in fact was affiliated with any party that was very short in coming the spokesman of israel defense force was claiming that israeli forces never. never acting without any documents without any exact specific intelligence well i can tell him now where is the intelligence that you have got to prove that r.t. was somehow or anyhow related to any political the i.d.f. has said that if after the examination of the discs and equipment that it has confiscated it is clear that there is no terror related content in the equipment will be returned to r.t. arabic will keep you posted on the meantime paula was talking about the ongoing home for these three missing teenagers this week saw three hundred palestinian

suspects arrested in connection with a student's abduction gideon levy a reporter for the israeli newspaper ha'aretz told me that the idea of heavy handed operation has gone far beyond its aim of what it says it's doing finding the missing teenagers i think that this operation went out of proportion long time ago in your office the raid on your office is just an example of a very very wide scale operation which has nothing to do with the fate of these three kidnapped youngsters israel takes advantage. of the strike again not the first time to smash the hamas and anything which smells hamas or looks like hamas or is connected directly or indirectly was commerce is becoming a victim for a brutal search. but for skating. even your office is one of those victims. indeed they were. after a fuse is indeed a winner g.

bills for six months kiev's natural gas supply then was finally turned off reluctantly this last week as to how it came to this those take a quick look at the background of the facts ukraine currently owes russia still in excess of four billion dollars a huge amount after stopping payments in november now what russia wanted when it set the final deadline of the week was that it received half of that money ukraine's problem apparently is the price keeps happy neither with the current price nor with the one offered by moscow in fact it is says so on a price that it is calling the market price but if you look on the graph coming up you'll see it will be one of the lowest in europe if it happened kiev is demanding to pay only half of what some european nations pay even the e.u. scald russia's final offer of three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters a reasonable offer not so ukraine refused to budge we are so number of experts what here is really playing for here that. could stand on their hands since the

locals till the cows come home and it wouldn't change the situation and i think the negotiating tactics of the ukrainian government. are simply designed to make someone crazy in moscow your period of compromise you could be reasonable and suddenly everything collapses this isn't going to help ordinary ukrainian people it's creating enormous economic instability and uncertainty a deal would have signaled a step towards normalization of relations with russia which of course is ukraine's by far the. so really a deal was in the ordinary ukrainian people's interest and i don't really understand why he hasn't gone through what happens now is you know that russia makes the choice and it's not a choice between you know more losing more money or being the bad guy switch off the gas go to a prepaid system in summer is respected much more than in this starting to do that an ata moment. when all else fails care has got family ties it can still rely on

the son of the american vice president on the board of his private gas corporation and his father joe biden has visited care for the second term in as many months of his poor scott looks at the long trail of american politicians backing ukraine's new government. whether it's secretary of state john kerry laying flowers his assistant victoria nuland handing out cookies. senator john mccain offering support to made on protests there is a great view by. america's presence in ukraine has been visible since the crisis began late last year and presence is only growing as u.s. vice president joe biden again visits kiev his son hunter is settling into his new job on the board of ukraine's largest private gas provider certainly one of the reasons provides president biden might be going personally would be to ensure that

these gas interests are secured for for his son washington officials arrived full of praise for the new kiev government despite its crackdown against saying represents the will of the people america claims its came for the people to be heard and the no country should interfere with the affairs of another he sen john mccain talking to me in kiev in december need to make it clear. to the russian government anywhere in their putin that interference in the affairs of ukraine is not acceptable to the united states of america or to any other free country in the world ok the message is clear the critics argue the presence of the vice president's son on the board of a prominent gas company the continual procession of u.s. officials in and out of kiev and the promise of financial and military aid represents its own form of interference which only prolongs the conflict in the country and let us not forget that the western leaders also supported the overthrow

of the attic of its government and what did that were and so what they supported is more really instability and all the rest so this won't do anything their support really means nothing to the. so against the backdrop of unrest in the east and continuing talk of sanctions and threats against russia vice president joe biden becomes the latest u.s. official to touch down carefully making sure he doesn't cross the line from support to interference pushcarts r.t. . spain's new king was crowned on thursday philippe the six takes over then from his father juan carlos the first abdicated forests but all spaniards are celebrating their anti monarchy protests nationwide even in the center of the capital where security was heightened for the relatively low key coronation three police officers were injured during clashes in madrid seven activists were arrested

they were quickly released to get the protests moved those been hyping the cause for years of austerity of soaring unemployment while the monarchy was seen picturing a loveless lifestyle and seeing its reputation battered by fraud allegations of late royal watchers say the new king therefore has got a tough job on his hat always was very charismatic and funny he was close to the people however philippe is more of a functionary and this might be a problem for the monarchy there are too many expectations that his are going to arrange. crisis economic problems and his not a politician historically a king but without a political role we do not expect further phillipe oil actually or for any of the boy family our we need to understand that that that we as we talk that scats alliance there one carlos is a key that has constantly denying that the spanish has been imposing catalonia all

we want and our majority in catalonia is devolved in the night of november. now the big story for the past seven days is america is committed to seeing egypt and its people succeed that's the very message from u.s. secretary of state john kerry he paid a short visit to cairo just yesterday suddenly the clearing washington support and resuming hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to president sisi who took office earlier this month middle east specialist lawrence davidson told me the u.s. will stand shoulder to shoulder with whoever's in power that. america is on the side. over. there or their sovereignty over territory the authority over egypt if you've got a stable government. and the americans go to a bar or department of say president oh oh oh let me leave. what government controlled territory it's always been the in her position.

for me this was the controls. and indeed following on from lawrence is saying that if we look but we can see the former secretary of state hillary clinton cozying up to then president and key muslim brotherhood member mohamed morsi he was of course later ousted by the army and put on trial now the current secretary of state john kerry has also given strong words of support to morsi at that time and is still doing it now he's just given those reassurances and meetings with the egyptian president. thanks to me without international maps who through the night to bring you all the latest breaking stories up next over the next hour a little known history of race based sterilization programs in the united states.
